Re: Painted Grills?

My original one was broken and faded. So i went to the junk yard and picked up one with a good emblem, and painted it. Base clear in rattle can, gm silver and black. I chose black because the upper half of my truck is black, rather than grey, which its supposed to be.

sweet looking truck man! I have a 86 GMC like yours, and I was planning on painting this summer, I think I will do something very similar to yours. That is if you dont mind?
